We are the leading manufacturer and supplier of gland ropes in India, providing cost-effective sealing solutions for various industrial purposes. Gland ropes, as the name might suggest, gland packings is the term normally used, although it is considerably cheaper than any mechanical seal, is a sort of rope whose purpose is wrapping around the shafts that rotate, fill the dead spaces, and leak fluid. Installing, maintaining, or repairing them requires no expertise since they are hassle-free.
Gland ropes make a seal by filling the gap between rotating shafts and stationary parts, thereby controlling fluid leakage and preserving valuable process fluids. It also minimizes emissions, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability. The friction created due to the linear speed of the shaft leads to heat generation and, hence, wear and tear of the gland rope. Thus, selection of the proper gland rope material for specific working conditions is very essential for optimum performance and long service life.
The success of gland ropes relies on the material. Various materials meet different requirements of operation based on:
Most commonly used gland rope materials include:
Impregnation is possible with some of these with substances like PTFE or graphite to give them sliding characteristics and heat transfer properties.
